As it is Heritage Weekend 11th September to 20th September here is a story from the old library to the new library

🐉✨ Meet Stanley the Dragon! ✨🐉

Did you know that high up in the turret of the old King's Lynn Library lived a very special dragon?

Meet Stanley, the Guardian of the Stanley Collection. For over 120 years, this golden dragon has watched over the library's precious collection of rare books, making sure every story stays safe and every page is cared for. 📚💛

By day, Stanley appears as a cuddly knitted dragon sitting quietly among the books. But when the library closes and the moonlight shines through the windows, he transforms back into his true dragon self and begins his important work!

And then, one day, something very exciting happened. The library moved to a brand-new home in the heart of King’s Lynn.

Boxes were packed. Shelves were carefully emptied. Books were carried, one by one, to their new home. Stanley watched it all from his shelf, his golden knitted scales giving an occasional little shimmer.

At first, he wasn’t quite sure what to think. After more than one hundred and twenty years in his old library, moving somewhere new felt like a very big adventure indeed.

But Stanley soon discovered that the new library was full of wonderful things.

There were new shelves to explore, new corners to hide in, new people, new children discovering stories for the very first time — and, most importantly, the Stanley Collection had come too.

His new home might not have a tall, pointy turret, but it had something even better: a whole new library full of people who loved books.

If you're lucky, you might just spot a flick of a golden tail or a shimmer of green spikes in the light... 👀✨

Back to School... 📣 Calling reluctant readers, Children who need a more accessible reading experience and those with Dyslexia 📣

Here at King's Lynn library, we have a lovely selection of Barrington Stoke and Little Gems books. They are some of the best dyslexia friendly books designed from the ground up to make reading easier, calmer, and more confidence building.

What makes Barrington Stoke & Little Gems dyslexia friendly?

📚Tinted paper — reduces visual stress and glare.
📚Dyslexia friendly font — specially designed letter shapes to avoid confusion.
📚Heavier, cream paper — stops text showing through pages.
📚Generous spacing — fewer words per page, calmer layout.
📚Short chapters — ideal for building stamina without overwhelm.
📚Illustrated — pictures support comprehension and keep attention.

Age ranges & who they suit.
📚Little Gems (ages 5–8) — early independent readers, KS1, children reading below age level, dyslexic or reluctant readers.
📚Barrington Stoke short novels (ages 8–teen)

Friday 25th September, 10:30am – 12:30pm at King’s Lynn Library
Women Talk Business

Fed up with "just post more on social media" advice that doesn't actually tell you what to post or (more importantly) why?

Join Kathy Ennis, founder of LittlePiggy and an award-winning Business Strategy Adviser who's spent 26+ years helping business owners get to grips with the business bits they never trained for.
In this session you'll work through Kathy’s Sticky Note Marketing Plan: a simple, visual method for working out what your marketing should actually be doing for you. No jargon, no funnels, no 'be more consistent' - just a simple, practical process you can take away and use again.

To secure your free space at our event please visit our Business & IP Centre Norfolk Eventbrite page: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/women-talk-business-the-sticky-note-marketing-plan-kings-lynn-library-tickets-1997569946483

🪉Solace Sessions🪉

Join us at King's Lynn Library to experience beautiful relaxing harp music with professional harpist Xenia Horne.

📅 Tuesday 1st September
⏰ 11am
🎫 Free event, all welcome

Being together in time and in music creates a sense of community, and provides a safe, held environment, allowing us to process feelings and situations which are sometimes difficult to articulate. Through being together in time and in music, we know that our heartbeats and breathing will synchronise, helping to slow down our metabolism, bringing a reduction in stress, and a sense of relaxation.

This programme of work is supported with funding from DCMS 'Know Your Neighbourhood Fund' and delivered by Libraries Connected, Arts Council England and Creative Arts East
